    Born in Israel in 1964. I developed my artistic path through independent exploration, deep observation, and intuitive inspiration. I have been painting since childhood and am entirely self-taught. 

    My work has long been influenced by artists whose visual language is abstract, as well as by Art Brut and the COBRA movement. In my early years, my paintings were characterized by childlike figures, distorted objects or animals, expressive color palettes, free and spontaneous lines, and layered compositions combining imagery, text, and painterly gestures. The approach was always rooted in abstraction; in fact, alongside the figurative elements, I continuously painted expressive or lyrical abstract.

     Today I focus solely on abstraction. The line or stain guides the process, generating movement and dynamic tension. It is in the space between the conscious and the unconscious, between control and surrender, between transparency and depth, that I find my equilibrium.
